How's best to clean my airstones?
What's the best method to clean my air stones?
I know, I have seen it posted on here before, but damned if I can find it when I need it..
I'm doing a res change and clean, and need to clean a little bit of gunk off one of my stones- from a plant that developed some slime. I got the plant cleaned up and doing well in another bucket, but I want to clean my other buckets and stones, making sure I get them as sterilized as I can.

agreed with Heisenberg .
thats exactly what i do..no lie.
atleast boil them.
I buy new one's at a couple of bucks each my time is worth WAY more then the trouble to clean them. If yours is not maybe you need to rethink your time management or your hourly rate.
I always just used a scrub brush and some dish soap...
I apologize for my incessant rambling, but if you are patient there is inner hidden wisdom in most of my posts...Like playing literary "Where's Waldo."--------------- See, it's fun!
I have some new stones on hand, so I've been using them while I clean the others. The h2o2 and boiling seems to be working well, so I'll keep with that. It's not that using new stones each time isn't worth it, and I may end up doing that yet, but I know that 29% h2o2 will kill pretty much everything it comes in contact with, and then boiling would further the sterilization process.
Having my root issues under control will help prevent such fear that I will spread it to my others, just want to cover all the bases.
I do appreciate your input- everone. Thanks

It takes me 10 minutes to deal with $30 of airstones in the dishwasher and h2o2 soak....Is your time worth $180/hour?? I wish mine was...Originally Posted by BigBuddahCheese
H2O2 soak for a night followed by a combination of water + natural soap + brush + hand power

I soak them in hot water for an hour. Then run hot water with the most pessure. let them sit out over night to dry. If I need them dry right away. Wrap them in paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds. That also helps if they get water logged and stop bubbling.

Yeah the consensus seems to be boiling lol... well when airstones cost me £5 a pop and I have 2 per bucket (even with only 2 buckets) I can't afford £20 every time my airstones get a bit gunky. Boiling makes them look pretty much good as new! XD
